Welcome Remarks: David Spiegel, CNBC Editorial Director Sponsor Remarks: Bonnie Hyun, New York Stock Exchange Head of U.S. Capital Markets Programming Begins THE DATA DISRUPTOR As one of the most richly valued private U.S. tech companies, Databricks is among a handful of prominent venture-backed software makers that have long been on the path to an IPO. Key to its growth? Investing in generative AI through strategic acquisitions and partnerships like the company’s latest chip deal with Amazon. In a candid conversation with startup founders and executives, co-founder and CEO Ali Ghodsi shares how Databricks is strengthening its business for the long run. Ali Ghodsi, Databricks Co-Founder & CEO Interviewer: Julia Boorstin, CNBC Senior Media & Tech Correspondent BEYOND THE BILLION DOLLAR EXIT It's been just over a decade since Cowboy Ventures' founder Aileen Lee coined the moniker for (what used to be) incredibly rare startups: Unicorns. At the time, she was referring to U.S.-based companies valued at over $1 billion and less than 10 years old - but by 2018, unicorns became less of an exception as investors threw piles of cash at the buzziest names now being tested in public markets. Lee joins us to reflect on the infamous adage and discuss the importance of founders' experience, investor networks, gender diversity and more.
